“The allure of drugs being dangled in front of him” proved irresistible for a 29-year-old man, who got so intoxicated he ended up verbally abusing a member of An Garda Síochána and actively resisting arrest.

Daniel Ciemiega, who now lives at Carrig Desmond, Newcastle West, Co  Limerick, pleaded guilty at Cork District Court to four separate charges arising out of the incident in Cork City.
